The plugin registered a wp_note CPT with show_ui=true and show_in_menu=
'wp-notes', which caused WordPress to auto-inject "All Notes" and
"Add New" submenus under the WP Notes admin menu. The "Add New"
submenu routed to post-new.php?post_type=wp_note — the standard WP
post editor — but the live plugin stores notes in wp_options
(get_option('wp_notes')), not as CPT posts. Anyone clicking that
submenu ended up writing to the wrong storage and their note never
appeared in the WP Notes list.
Fix: show_ui and show_in_menu set to false on the wp_note CPT, and
show_ui / show_admin_column / show_in_rest set to false on the
wp_note_category taxonomy. The CPT/taxonomy remain registered so the
wp_notes_migrate_to_cpt() helper can still call wp_insert_post() —
just no admin UI side-effects until the migration is completed and
the live storage swaps over.
Also adds CHANGELOG.md in Keep-a-Changelog format with the
[Unreleased] entry for this fix and a 3.0.2 baseline note for the
"trimmed from v1.1.5 feature-creep" lineage.
